Reuel is generally regarded as the same person with Jethro (Ex. 8:1), Reuel being his name, and Jethro, which means excellency, his honorary title. Rut there are other opinions. "Moses' father-in-law." Tho word for "father-in-law" in Hebrew has a wider meaning and signifies any relation by marriage. So that Hobab may have been Moses' "brother-in-law." "We are journeying:" They were just
ready to renew their journey aiterwieir long abode at Sinn! (v. 33). "Unto tho place of which the Lord said, I will give it you:" This was the promiso made to Abraham (Gen. 11:7; 111:15; 17:Si, and repeated to Jncob (Gen. 28:1; Psa. 105:0-11), and to Moses and tho children of Israel Ex. 3:S). "Conio thou with us, and we will do theo good:" Two reasons are given why Hobab should accept this invitation. First Reason The blessing to himself. "We w'.ll do thee good;" you will partake of all the blessings we receive, you will have the manna, the guiding
pillar, the loving care, tne wuhto clpline, the blessings of the true God und the true religion, and an inheritance iu the Promised Land; you may be sure of these, "for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel." 30. "And he said, I will not go." Thb motive was not sullieient to move him. The motive is a good one, and should bo urged. Rut It is not so effective as some other motives, and there is danger that it will be emphasized too much. Second Reason The Power to Help on the Good Cause. 31. "Thou knowest . . . the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes." Mosea had beim in portions of the wilderness, im It. ilmb lmd been familiar with tho
whole region all his life, and had traversed it again and again. "Tho Divine guidiance of the pillar of tho cloud would not render superfluous tho human conductor, who could indicate
